And Ye Shall Be as Gods
Charlotte Evans- Our group at The New Chapter has read many family dramas, but And Ye Shall Be as Gods is shaping up to be one of the most honest portrayals we’ve seen in a while.
By the time we reached Chapter 5, we had already argued (in the best way!) about Jacob’s choices, Grace’s dependence, and whether his sense of duty is selfless or quietly self-destructive.
The writing is gorgeous clean yet lyrical, with moments that make you stop and re-read just to appreciate the craft. The funeral scene in Chapter 2 was a standout, stirring up memories for many of us and sparking a heartfelt conversation about how people process loss differently.
We left our last meeting buzzing with theories about where the story might go. One member summed it up perfectly: “It’s like Notzon is peeling back layers of the human heart, one chapter at a time.” We’re hooked.
